Things to do in Te Anau

Take a boat to the wormhole across the lake. After the explanation, the leader will lead you into the cave. The number of fireflies in the cave is very large, like a sky full of stars. It is even more beautiful to enter with a small boat. This is a must-see trip. Present your Klook voucher at the counter to check in and exchange for a boarding pass. You can board the boat with the boarding pass. No photography or videography is allowed inside the cave.

We went to the meeting point because we had a six-year-old child. The receptionist said that children definitely need a car seat. Luckily, we had rented a car and also rented a car seat, so we asked the receptionist. She said it was okay to use it, otherwise we might not be able to get on the vehicle. This place is amazing, a must-visit if you go to New Zealand.

Booked for 6:30 AM, and you need to be at the pick-up location 10 minutes early. Seemed like we waited 20 minutes due to previous passengers being late. The 2 driver-guides spoke English throughout the entire trip, and they will let you off to take pictures of attractions along the way. The chicken burger and snacks for lunch were alright, even though they were cold. Milford Sound is worth visiting! Due to weather issues, the helicopter tour I originally booked was canceled for two consecutive days, so choosing this tour was worth the price. Highly recommended!

Milford Sound was an absolutely incredible experience and even more magical in the rain. So many waterfalls appearing out of nowhere made it feel unreal and worth getting absolutely soaked for. Chris, our tour guide and driver, was fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, and just sarcastic enough to keep things entertaining with his classic dad jokes.

A wonderful experience, glad we followed a day tour instead of self drive so we could admire the view better, be relaxed and learn more about each of the pit stops (eg. monkey creek). Loved the cruise ride had great weather and views! the food on the cruise was good too! We went for the last tour which set off at 8am from Crowne Plaza and boarded the last cruise out at 2.30pm. It’ll be good to have some light snacks else lunch will be served quite late. We had the falafel (vegan) wrap which was served cold and still yummy while the chicken pie was served warm! both options were yummy!

The Doubtful Sound Wilderness Day tour is a breathtaking escape into one of New Zealand’s most remote and pristine landscapes. While the scenery is undoubtedly world-class, our guide, Peanut, truly made the day exceptional. From the moment we boarded, Peanut’s expert driving and deep knowledge of the Fiordland wilderness were on full display. Navigating the steep Wilmot Pass was seamless, and his commentary provided fascinating insights into the region's unique ecology and history. What set the experience apart, however, was his infectious humor; he kept the entire group laughing and engaged throughout the long journey. The wildlife encounters were the ultimate highlight. Thanks to Peanut’s keen eyes and timing, we were treated to rare sightings of playful dolphins dancing near the boat and seals basking on the rugged rocks. For a day filled with laughter, incredible expertise, and the silent majesty of the "Sound of Silence," this tour is an absolute must-do

Amazing day. Our guide Sasha was excellent and gave us so much information about the area. Lunch and morning tea was tasty. Milford Sound cruise was wonderful
